Tharle Nanmaga, his maiden venture as a director, was declared a major success. This film was Jaggesh's [1] first movie as a lead actor. This cult hit is popular even today for its slapstick comedy and out-of the box narration. His second movie Sshhh with Kumar Govindu in the lead was another box of success. This surprise suspense thriller also starred Kashinath and introduced Kumar Govindu as mainstream hero. Interestingly it has small cameo by Uppi as a brash youth in police costume. His next directorial venture Om was a super hit movie starring Shiv Rajkumar and Prema. This story explored and exposed Bangalore underworld.
